“Anti-Semitism”

by Der Stürmer

Part I

“Already the pitch has been reached in Great Britain where it is considered bigoted or reactionary to do other than praise the Jews for their industry and ability. Few papers will risk any attack on the Jews, however well-founded, for fear of appearing even distantly anti-Semitic.” (This is more than true in America where it is dangerous to mention any through derogatory to the Jews, and in New York it has been made a crime). (Propaganda in the Next War, Sidney Robertson, p. 92; War! War! War!, Cincinnatus, p, 192).

“The Greeks had had vast experience in this world, their imagination had been fertile and they had created much…that, in these circumstances, they should fall in with a people imbued with a calm and sometimes stolid and bucolic certainty where its spiritual possessions were concerned, barbarians with no sculpture or breeding, necessarily tinged their contempt with impotent wrath. The inevitably logical result of this attitude on the part of the Greeks was the growth of anti-Semitism, of hatred of the Jews.”(Josef Kastein, History of the Jews, p. 92).

“Those other lands were Christian, and they boiled with bigotry. The rulers themselves were more or less tolerant, for they depended upon Jews as their financiers. But the lower classes had no use for them, and butchered them whenever a righteous excuse could be found.

And righteous excuses were not wanting. If a plague broke out, of course the Jews had poisoned the wells. If a war was lost, of course the Jews had aided the enemy. If a boy mysteriously disappeared, of course the Jews had murdered him to procure blood for their Passover drink…”(Rabbi Lewis Browne, Stranger than Fiction, p. 217).

“So against both the Albigenses and the Jews this pope now directed all his fury…The beautiful city of Beziers was razed to the ground. ‘We spared neither dignity, nor six nor age’ writes the monk, Arnold, to his Holy Father, the pope. ‘Nearly twenty thousand human beings perished by the sword. And after the massacre the town was plundered and burnt, and the revenge of God seemed to rage over it in a wonderful manner.” (Rabbi Lewis Browne, Stranger than Fiction, p. 224).

“And finally it came Spain’s turn. Persecution had occurred there on and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of them submitted to baptism.

But almost always conversion on thee terms was only outward and false. Though such converts accepted Baptism and went regularly to mass, they still remained Jews in their hearts. They were called Marrano, ‘Accursed Ones,’ and there were perhaps a hundred thousand of them. Often they possessed enormous wealth. Their daughters married into the noblest families, even into the blood royal, and their sons sometimes entered the Church and rose to the highest offices. It is said that even one of the popes was of this Marrano stock.” (Rabbi Lewis Browne, Stranger than Fiction, p. 234-235).

“The day when the Jew was first admitted to civil rights, the Christian state was in danger…the entrance of the Jew into (White) society marked the destruction of the State, meaning by State, the Christian State.”(Benard Lazare, Antisemitism: Its History and Causes, P. 162).

“As Christians learn how self-styled Jews have spent millions of dollars to manufacture the ‘Jewish myth’ for Christian consumption and that they have done this for economic and political advantage, you will see a tremendous explosion against the Jews. Right thinking Jewish leaders are worried about this, since they see it coming.”(Facts are Facts by Benjamin Freedman)

“To national anti-Semitism, produced by the recent genius of peoples, is opposed the age-old genius of the race (nationalities and a race identical in itself)…To intellectual anti-Semitism, produced by the claims of reason, constructed on the solid basis of logic, is opposed a form of thought, troubled, incoherent, passionnel. To social anti-Semitism, produced by the exigencies of the most conservative principles – sustained by the force of order and hierarchism – opposed by a spirit of innate undiscipline, revolt and unitarism. To economic anti- Semitism produced by the existence and dominance of the right of property, a conception resists and attacks which refuses to that right all necessity and virtue…” (Nomades, Kadmi Cohen).

“The Jewish question exists wherever the Jews live, however small their number. Where it does not exist it is imported by Jew immigrants. We naturally go where we are not persecuted, and, still persecution is the result of our appearance…By persecution we cannot be exterminated…the strong Jews turn proudly to their race when persecution bursts out. Entire branches of Judaism may disappear, break away; the tree lives.”(Israël aux mystérieux destins, A. Cavalier and P. d’Halterive; The Jewish State, Theodore Herzl)

“I believe I understand anti-Semitism which is a very complex movement. I see it as a Jew, but without hatred or fear. I recognize what is anti-Semitism is rude jesting, vulgar jealousy of métier, hereditary prejudice; but also what can be considered as in fact legitimate defence.”(Israël aux mystérieux destins, A. Cavalier and P. d’Halterive; The Jewish State, Theodore Herzl)

“We incessantly produce average intelligences who remain without outlet, and who, because of that, constitute a social danger…The cultivated Jews without fortune naturally all tend today towards Socialism…Aiming the peoples anti-Semitism grows from day to day, from hour to hour, and must continue to grow, for the causes continue to exist and cannot be suppressed…At the bottom we become revolutionaries by proletarising ourselves, and we form the inferior officers of all subversive parties. At the top, at the same time, grows our formidable financial power.” (Israël aux mystérieux destins, A. Cavalier and P. d’Halterive; The Jewish State, Theodore Herzl)

“We look at it objectively with documents and proofs in hand, giving conclusions authorized by fifty years of an attentive life, lived with open eyes in this North Africa, which is, indeed, the most marvelous laboratory and the best ground on which to follow the evolution of the Jew…We live in France under the law of a taboo; that is, of the Jew…Who will say I exaggerate…in this Algeria where there is no longer a single journal in which the word Jew can be written with a capital J…Atheist in the religion of others, international in the country of others, revolutionaries in the society of others, but prodigiously jealous and fiercely conservative in what is their own, their originality, spirit and race, such during half a century have the Jews revealed themselves to my attentive eyes…It is not so much through himself and his deleterious action that the Jew is dangerous, it is by the examples he gives, the contagion he exercises, and the spirit he teaches to the unchained masses deprived of direction and too much inclined to imitate…Our anti-Semitism, therefore, is not of violence, disorder or recrimination, but of clairvoyance, of methodical protection; our anti-Semitism is of the State, regulations, and laws.”(Le Péril Juif, Charles Hagel).

“In a general way, if one cannot attribute to the Jew the whole responsibility of the situation, economic, political, and social, by which Algeria is being strangled, it is no exaggeration to recognize him as morally guilty, for the great part of his rìle here, still more than elsewhere, has consisted in corrupting, degrading, and disintegrating.” (Le Péril Juif, Charles Hagel).

“The fact that anti-Semitism was made a criminal offense in Bolshevia does not prove philo-Semitism; on the contrary, one might reason logically thus: Jew-hatred is so rampant in the country that the authorities were compelled to put the offense in the same category as counter-revolution, which is the most severely punished crime in Soviet Russia, for otherwise they would be unable to suppress the tendency.”(The Patriot).

“It is quite evident that the key of the solution of this hoary problem lies in finding ways how to overcome the obstacles of the formidable, both numerically and energetically, revolutionary section of Jewry.”(The Patriot).

“Give order to all the conductors on the road that no Jews are to be permitted to travel on the railroad from any point. They may go north and be encouraged in it; but they are such an intolerable nuisance that the department must be purged of them.”(Grant writing to General Webster at Jackson, on November 10, 1862).

“Refuse all permits to come south of Jackson for the present. The Israelites (Jews) especially should be kept out…”(Series One, Vol. XVII, Part II, of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, from Major General U.S. Grant to Major General Hurlburt, then stationed at Jackson, Tennessee. Writing at La Grange, Tennessee, November 9, 1862, p. 330).

“It was (is) the instinctive policy with the mass of the Jewish nation, a deliberate policy with most of its leaders, not only to use ridicule against anti-Semitism but to label as ‘anti-Semitic’ any discussion of the Jewish problem at all, or, for that matter, any information even on the Jewish problem…If a man alluded to the presence of a Jewish financial power in any region, for instance, in India, he was an anti-Semite. If he interested himself in the peculiar character of Jewish philosophical discussions, especially in matters concerning religion, he was an anti-Semite. If the emigrations of the Jewish masses from country to country, the vast modern invasion of the United States, for instance (which has been organized and controlled like an army on the march), interested him as an historian, he could not speak of it under pain of being called an anti-Semite. If he exposed a financial swindler who happened to be a Jew, he was an anti-Semite. If he exposed a group of Parliamentarians taking money from the Jews, he was called an anti-Semite. If he did no more than call a Jew a Jew, he was an anti- Semite. You cannot long confuse interest with hatred, the statement of plain and important truths with mania, the discussion of fundamental questions with silly enthusiasm, for the same reason that you cannot long confuse truth with falsehood. Sooner or later people are bound to remark that the defendant seems curiously anxious to avoid all investigation of his case…I say it was a fatal policy; but it was deliberately undertaken by the Jews.” (Hilaire Belloc, The Jews, pp. 160-161).

“Ever since the Jews invented the libel charge of ‘anti-Semitism’ in the 1880s (The word ‘anti- Semitism’ was first printed in 1880.’ The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. I (1901), p. 641), it has been built up with Jewish money, organizations, propaganda, and lies (such as the Holocaust- Holohoax), so that now the word is like snake venom which paralyzes one’s nervous system. Even the mention of the word ‘Jew’ is shunned unless used in a most favorable and positive context.” (Charles A. Weisman, Who is Esau-Edom?, p. 63).

“Anti-Semitism is so instinctive that it may quite simply be called one of the primal instincts of mankind, one of the important instincts by which the race helps to preserve itself against total destruction. I cannot emphasize the matter too strongly. Anti-Semitism is not, as Jews have tried to make the world believe, an active prejudice. It is a deeply hidden instinct with which every man is born. He remains unconscious of it, as of all other instincts of self preservation, until something happens to awaken it. Just as when something flies in the direction of your eyes, the eyelids close instantly and of their own accord. So swiftly and surely is the instinct of anti-Semitism awakened in a man…there is not a single instance when the Jews have not fully deserved the bitter fury of their persecutors.”(Samuel Roth, Jews Must Live, (1934), p. 64).
